An impact assessment took place for a proposed six-house development site located outside the town of Edgeworthstown. Five ringforts are situated in the locality of the site. Sixteen trenches were excavated within the footprints of the proposed houses and four along the proposed extension to the access road, south of the development site.
Two features of archaeological significance were discovered, tested and recorded on site. The features were two charcoal-filled pits, measuring 0.45m wide by 0.12m deep and 0.8m wide by 0.2m deep respectively.
